There are 15 Master Tamers on the Broken Isles. There are achievements associated with beating any 12 of them with a team of three pets from the same family; completing all of these achievements grants the meta Family Familiar, which awards the Nightmare Treant pet.

Below is a list of all such achievements.

Achievement

Pet Family

Aquatic Acquiescence	Aquatic
Mousing Around	Critter
Ragnaros, Watch and Learn	Elemental
Murlocs, Harpies, and Wolvar, Oh My!	Humanoid
Roboteer	Mechanical
Best of the Beasts	Beast
Dragons!	Dragon
Flock Together	Flying
Master of Magic	Magic
The Lil' Necromancer	Undead

Comment by Aranesh

This is part of the Family Familiar achievement.

I'm creating guides for all trainers for you to follow easily. But displaying 15 different strategies here would be rather confusing, so here you go: http://www.wow-petguide.com/index.php?m=LCritter&s=222

Enjoy and good luck with the fights!

I defeated Bredda Tenderhide with a Cockroach using Apocalypse at the start of the pet battle, and then swapped out to the other pets immediately after. I used rabbits/hares for both 2nd and 3rd slots to use Burrow when they entered, so that they survived longer for Apocalypse to take effect.

Durian Strongfruit critter strat:
Darkmoon Rabbit, Rapana Whelk, any other critter pet (I had a Shimmershell Snail as backup due to the magic ability vs. Beaky, but didn't need to use it).

Start with Huge, Sharp Teeth! followed by stampede. Keep the bleeds up & fill with vicious streak. Once Sunny dies, do the same again with Roots. When your Darkmoon Rabbit dies, swap to the Rapana Whelk. Put up shell shield, then use dive, & fill with absorb. Reapply shield when it's at 1. Repeat until Roots and Beaky are dead. If needed, use the 3rd pet as backup. Having the Shimmershell with ooze touch would help with a last bit of damage.

Mousing Around - Family Familiar

Robert Craig

I thought this was probably going to be one of the harder ones for this achievement as he uses all Beast pets which as we know have a tendency for destroying critters but after a "few" attempts I actually ended up beating him with just 2 pets.

Pets I used were Rapana Whelk (B/B) 2/2/1 - Pygmy Cow (H/P) 1/2/2 - Alpine Hare (H/S) 2/2/1

(Didn't need the Hare and you can use any snail with the same moveset)

Strategy

Starting with Rapana Whelk against Thrugtusk you want to use Shell Shield straight away then just spam Absorb. When your Shell Shield has 1 round left make sure to refresh it and carry on using Absorb, when his Thrugtusk was low enough health I used Dive to finish it.

Once Wumpas comes out switch straight away to Pygmy Cow. You want to start with Stampede, while you're doing that Wumpas will get you super low (I was around 200hp, if he kills your cow then start over). Once your stampede ends, Wumpas will start to Hibernate, hit him with Feed followed by Udder Destruction and he should die (with how Hibernate works even though your Pygmy Cow will be slower your second attack will go off before he heals).

Baeloth will come out as his last pet and you should be able to get in 1 Stampede tick to apply the debuff before your Pygmy Cow dies. Bring your Rapana Whelk back in and just Absorb into the debuff then Dive and Absorb again until he dies. Worst case scenario you've still got the Hare/Rabbit as backup which should easily finish him off.

Nightwatcher Merayl

Silkbead Snail - 1-2-2
Frostfur Rat - 2-2-1
Rapana Whelk - 1-2-2

Took 2 tries.

Use each pet until dead. Use Refuge during 2nd pet deathrattle then use Stampede on Baeloth. Two Ooze Touch from the Rapana Whelk to finish him off.

For Bodhi Sunwayver

I used:

Rapana Whelk (1,1,1) - Any Snail will do
Pygmy Cow (1,2,2) - Can replace with any Snail
Stinker (1,1,2) - Was pretty useless, any critter to replace?

Acidic Goo
Ooze Touch
Dive - to Avoid Whirlpool Blast
Ooze Touch with other abilities off cooldown
First pet will die with 2nd pet weakened when Rapana Whelk dies
Switch to Stinker
Bleat - To heal cow
Rake
Scratch - With Rake off Cooldown
Second pet should die before Stinker dies
Pygmy Cows' Udder Destruction and Feed finished off the final pet for me

With Rapana Whelk finishing off first pet and doing alot of damage to second pet, not sure it matters what else you bring

Comment by Suggestions

This addon: World Quest Tips & Timers helps track your progress on this achievement (amongst other things)

So you can see if you need the current pet battle world quests right from the world map - It adds to the tooltip of a pet battle World Quest (and the NPC) the following:

If you have never done the quest it adds name of the achievement plus progress eg:
Battle on the Broken Isles (14/30)
Then it adds each meta not met from Family Familiar, with progress. For example:

The Lil' Necromancer (5/12)
Mousing Around (3/12)
Best of the Beasts (8/12)
Aquatic Acquiescence (0/12)
Roboteer (1/12)
You can ignore up to 3 tamers per achievement (as you only need 12/15)
You can also Alt-Click on the world quest to add you own note to the tooltip and get links back to Wowhead and Aranesh's awesome wow-petguide.com

Let me know what you think, and/or if you have any suggestions for me to add/change.

Edit: World Quest Tips & Timers will now function for any localization.

I am 7/12 on this achieve and I have used the following comp for most of it, pretty convinced it could have been all of it:

1. Silkbead Snail
2. Silkbead Snail
3. Silkbead Snail

Comment by Reirae

For Robert Craig I used 3 s/s rabbits, all 2-2-2.

First round, use Dodge, then Stampede, then Flurry. Use dodge on cooldown and Stamepde to keep up the debuff. Almost soloed it with one rabbit, was surprisingly easy after all the previous attempts I made.

Comment by rubbercat

Amalia
Fawn (2,2,2)
Gazelle Fawn (2,2,2)
Winter Reindeer (2,2,2)

Nature's Call > Headbutt > Stampede > repeat

You'll be refreshing Nature's Call early each time but it's preferable to it dropping off mid-stampede. When the 3rd puppy becomes unattackable I just spammed Nature's Call until he finished.

Comment by concordantnexus

For Mousing Around, I beat Tiffany Nelson with a trio of snails:

Silkbead Snail HS 221
Rapana Whelk HB 221
Rusty Snail HB 221 <--- didn't actually come out to fight

All you need to do is keep the Shell Shield up against Dots and Stampede type attacks, and use Dive to circumvent bigger attacks

Comment by Jilliene

For Bredda Tenderhide I used this strat credit to Daedrynn

Any S/S Rabbit (2-2-1) except Dust Bunny
Fire Beetle (1-2-1)
H/B Rapana Whelk (1-2-1)
1: Dodge
2: Flurry
3: Flurry
4-5: Burrow
6: Flurry to kill Spirit Guide
7: Dodge for his resurrection round

Quinillo comes in.
1: Flurry til Rabbit is dead
2: Switch to Fire Beetle
3: Scorched Earth
4-X: Burn until Quinillo dies

Fethyr comes in
1: Switch to Rapana Whelk
2: Shell Shield
3: Ooze Touch until Whelk is dead. Refresh shell shield on cd

Bring in Fire Beetle if necessary.
1: Cauterize
2: Scorched Earth
3: Burn for the win!

Sir Galveston* for the

Comment by Matiotwk

Tiffany Nelson:

Use x3 of ANY Snail battle pet with Absorb, Acidic Goo and Dive.

For reference, I used: Amethyst Softshell - Silkbead Snail - Scooter the Snail

Start off with Acidic Goo, followed by Dive. Then Absorb until enemy pet or your pet dies. Repeat the process on every enemy pet.

Robert Craig for Mousing Around

Completed today

For me .... (imo, any Hare or Rabbit will do, the higher the speed the better)

Elfin Rabbit ... Flurry, Dodge, Burrow (Dodge, Flurry then Burrow. Used Burrow to avoid Thrugtusk's first Stampede giving my Elfin a chance to survive for first couple of hits on Wumpas. Use Dodge and Burrow always on cooldown)
Arctic Hare ... Flurry, Dodge, Stampede (Kept Dodge and Stampede up and Flurry as filler on Wumpas giving my Blind Rat a massive easy chance on Baeloth. Use Dodge always on cooldown)
Blind Rat ... Sneak Attack, Lullaby, Call of Darkness (Only used Lullaby and Call of Darkness once and Baeloth died).

This fight gave me a headache, however I finally got the strategy right. The faster the Critters, the better.

Comment by Aalyy

For Mousing Around I used :

Gleamhoof Fawn (2,1,2)
Pygmy Cow (1,2,2)
Rabbit S/S (2,2,1)

Tranquility, Stampede, then Headbutt when Stampede is over, Stampede till your pet or the other is dead
Swap to the cow then Stampede, Udder Destruction (use udder destruction first if debuff is still on the pet and it wont die to stampede in the first round), Feed, then Stampede until cow dies
Finish second pet off with the rabbit then Dodge, Flurry once or twice, burrow right before dodge ends, then finish off the third pet with flurry.

Might have to adjust for RNG but this was much easier than any of the other strats for me. Good luck :)
